Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hub motors, in particular to a hub motor for an electric bicycle. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a convenient and environmentally friendly means of transportation, electric bicycles have been widely used in short-distance travel. As the core power component of electric bicycles, the hub motor integrates the driving device in the wheel hub, eliminating intermediate transmission structures such as chains or gears, and has the advantages of high transmission efficiency and compact structure, and has become the mainstream driving scheme of modern electric bicycles.

[0003] In the prior art, the hub motor used in the electric bicycle generates a magnetic field direction between the internal stator and the rotor disc, which is usually perpendicular to the rotating shaft of the motor. In order to control the motor, a detection element is usually installed inside the motor to detect the rotor disc magnetic pole position in real time to obtain the magnetic field change signal and feedback to the controller. The common detection element is a Hall sensor.

[0004] However, the magnetic field direction perpendicular to the rotating shaft often causes unstable detection signals of the Hall sensor in actual application. Specifically, the sensitive direction of the Hall sensor is usually the axis direction of the rotating shaft, which is perpendicular to the magnetic field direction in the existing hub motor. Therefore, the actual magnetic field component detected by the Hall sensor is often smaller than the actual magnetic field strength, resulting in a low basic amplitude of the detection signal, a decreased recognition degree of subtle changes in the magnetic field, and difficulty for the Hall sensor to accurately capture the critical state of these fluctuations, which is prone to signal jumping or delay.

[0005] The above-mentioned problem of unstable detection signal of the Hall sensor directly affects the judgment of the motor rotor disc position by the control board, so that the motor is in an unstable working state for a long time, aggravating the wear of the internal components of the motor, shortening the service life of the motor, and even causing motor failure due to control error, which poses a potential threat to the safety of cycling.

[0042] The stator windings are energized through the power supply device, since the stator windings are wound on the stator core 41 in the direction of the axis of the central shaft 2, at this time, the magnetic field direction generated by the magnetic steels 45 cutting the stator windings is parallel to the direction of the axis of the central shaft 2, and the axial magnetic field is formed in cooperation with the permanent magnet 44, so that the magnetic field direction of the hub motor is consistent with the sensitive direction of the detection element, thereby increasing the magnetic field component that can be detected by the detection element, improving the basic amplitude of the detection signal, and further improving the stability of the detection signal of the detection element and the service life of the hub motor.

[0043] With reference to Figure 2 andFigure 4 The inner side of the movement shell 32 is fixedly connected with a partition plate 33, and the motor assembly 4 and the transmission mechanism 5 are arranged on the two sides of the partition plate 33 respectively. The transmission mechanism 5 comprises an inner gear ring 51, a primary reduction assembly 52 and a secondary reduction assembly 53. The inner gear ring 51 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the movement shell 32 and is coaxially arranged with the central shaft 2. The power input end of the primary reduction assembly 52 is connected with the rotor disc 43, the power output end is connected with the power input end of the secondary reduction assembly 53, and the power output end of the secondary reduction assembly 53 is connected with the hub shell 1.

[0044] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Specifically, the primary reduction assembly 52 comprises a primary sun gear base 521, a primary sun gear 522 and a primary planet carrier 523 which are sleeved on the outer surface of the central shaft 2. The primary sun gear base 521 is fixedly installed on the rotor disc 43 by three bolts. The inner tooth surface of the primary sun gear base 521 is engaged with the primary sun gear 522. The primary planet carrier 523 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the central shaft 2 by a bearing. Four primary planet gears 524 are rotatably connected to the primary planet carrier 523. The four primary planet gears 524 are located between the tooth surface of the primary sun gear 522 and the inner gear ring 51 and are engaged with the primary sun gear 522 and the inner gear ring 51 at the same time.

[0045] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The secondary reduction assembly 53 comprises a secondary sun gear 531, a secondary planet carrier 532 and an output ring 533 which are sleeved on the outer surface of the central shaft 2. The secondary sun gear 531 is engaged with the inner tooth surface of the primary planet carrier 523. The secondary planet carrier 532 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the central shaft 2 by a bearing. Four secondary planet gears 534 are rotatably connected to the secondary planet carrier 532. The four secondary planet gears 534 are located between the tooth surface of the secondary sun gear 531 and the inner gear ring 51 and are engaged with the secondary sun gear 531 and the inner gear ring 51 at the same time. The output ring 533 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the secondary planet carrier 532. The end face of the output ring 533 away from the secondary planet carrier 532 is connected with the inner side wall of the hub shell 1.

[0046] The power supply device is powered on to the stator winding, and the electromagnetic induction generated by the stator winding and the magnetic steel 45 drives the rotation of the rotor disc 43. When the rotor disc 43 rotates, it drives the rotation of the first sun gear base 521, and the first sun gear base 521 drives the rotation of the first sun gear 522, thereby driving the four first planetary gears 524 to rotate around their own axes while performing a revolution along the inner ring gear 51 tooth surface. The revolution of the four first planetary gears 524 drives the first planetary carrier 523 to rotate synchronously, and the first planetary carrier 523 drives the second sun gear 531 to rotate, which drives the multiple second planetary gears 534 to rotate while revolving along the inner ring gear 51 tooth surface, thereby driving the second planetary carrier 532 to rotate synchronously.

At the same time, the power is reduced twice through the first reduction assembly 52 and the second reduction assembly 53, thereby forming a large transmission ratio between the rotor disc 43 and the wheel hub shell 1, and increasing the output torque of the wheel hub shell 1 to meet the power demand of the electric bicycle for low speed and high torque.

[0047] The implementation principle of the wheel hub motor for the electric bicycle according to the embodiment of the application is as follows: the power supply device is powered on to the stator winding, and the electromagnetic induction generated by the stator winding and the magnetic steel 45 drives the rotation of the rotor disc 43. The rotor disc 43 drives the rotation of the wheel hub shell 1 through the transmission mechanism 5. In the process of generating a magnetic field, the stator winding is arranged on the stator core 41 in the direction of the central axis 2 axis. At this time, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic steel 45 cutting the stator winding is parallel to the direction of the central axis 2 axis, and cooperates with the permanent magnet 44 to form an axial magnetic field, so that the direction of the magnetic field of the wheel hub motor is consistent with the sensitive direction of the detection element, thereby increasing the magnetic field component that can be detected by the detection element, improving the basic amplitude of the detection signal, and further improving the stability of the detection signal of the detection element and the service life of the wheel hub motor.

[0048] Embodiment 2 With reference to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The difference between the embodiment of the application and the embodiment 1 is that the central axis 2 is provided with a ventilation groove 21 near the side of the disc brake end cover 102 along the axis direction, the ventilation groove 21 extends to the inside of the wheel hub shell 1, and a plurality of air inlet holes 311 are uniformly arranged on the machine core cover 31 in the circumferential direction. In this embodiment, the number of air inlet holes 311 is three.

[0049] With reference to Figure 6 and Figure 7The plurality of air inlets 331 are evenly arranged on the outer circumferential side of the inner side wall of the core shell 32. The plurality of air inlets 331 are in communication with the air inlet groove 321. The air inlet groove 321 is in communication with the gap between the inner side wall of the hub shell 1 and the outer side wall of the core shell 32. The plurality of air outlets 103 are arranged on the side of the hub shell 1 close to the disc brake end cover 102. The plurality of air outlets 103 are evenly distributed along the outer circumferential side of the hub shell 1.

[0050] With reference to Figure 7 During the operation of the hub motor, the external air enters the hub shell 1 through the air inlet groove 21, and then enters the core cover 3 through the air inlet hole 311. The air absorbs heat from the surface of the motor assembly 4 in the core cover 3 to form hot air. Then the hot air flows into the gap between the outer side wall of the core shell 32 and the inner side wall of the hub shell 1 through the plurality of air inlets 331 and the air inlet groove 321, and finally is discharged through the plurality of air outlets 103. In this way, the motor assembly 4 in the core cover 3 is effectively cooled, reducing the possibility of performance degradation or component damage of the motor due to high temperature, thereby prolonging the service life of the motor.

[0051] With reference to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In order to improve the efficiency of convective heat dissipation, a plurality of accommodating grooves 6 are arranged on the outer circumferential end surface of the rotor disc 43. The length of the accommodating groove 6 is parallel to the radial direction of the rotor disc 43. The plurality of accommodating grooves 6 are arranged in a spiral line along the axis direction of the rotor disc 43. A heat sink 7 and a tension spring 8 are arranged in each accommodating groove 6. The heat sink 7 is slidingly connected in the accommodating groove 6. One end of the tension spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the accommodating groove 6 close to the axis direction of the central shaft 2. The other end of the tension spring 8 is fixedly connected to the heat sink 7. The force of the tension spring 8 acting on the heat sink 7 is opposite to the centrifugal force acting on the heat sink 7.

[0052] When the rotor disc 43 rotates, the heat sink 7 has a tendency to slide outward under the action of centrifugal force. When the rotational speed increases, the centrifugal force acting on the heat sink 7 is greater than the elastic force of the tension spring 8. The heat sink 7 extends out of the accommodating groove 6 and is arranged in a spiral line on the outer surface of the rotor disc 43. At this time, the plurality of rotating heat sinks 7 guide the airflow to flow along the spiral trajectory, push the air to form directional circulation in the axial direction of the rotor disc 43, and accelerate the hot air to flow out through the air inlet 331 and the air inlet groove 321, thereby further improving the efficiency of convective heat dissipation. When the rotational speed decreases, the tension spring 8 pulls the heat sink 7 back to reduce the air resistance and reduce energy consumption.

[0053] With reference to Figure 7 and Figure 8The limiting groove 61 is arranged on the inner side wall of the accommodating groove 6, and the opposite ends of the heat dissipation fin 7 are rotationally connected with rotating blocks, the rotating blocks are rollingly connected in the limiting groove 61, the rotating blocks change the sliding friction into rolling friction, the friction when the heat dissipation fin 7 slides is reduced, so that the heat generated by the friction is reduced, when the centrifugal force pushes the rotating blocks to move to the end of the limiting groove 61 far from the central shaft 2, the gap is left between the heat dissipation fin 7 and the inner side wall of the movement core shell 32, the maximum extension of the heat dissipation fin 7 is controlled through the limiting groove 61, the gap is ensured between the heat dissipation fin 7 and the inner side wall of the movement core shell 32, so that the heat generated by the friction between the heat dissipation fin 7 and the movement core shell 32 is avoided.

[0054] The principle of the embodiment 2 is that: in the process of the operation of the wheel hub motor, the external air enters the inside of the wheel hub shell 1 through the ventilation groove 21, then the air enters the inside of the movement core cover 3 through the air inlet hole 311, the air absorbs the heat on the surface of the motor assembly 4 to form hot air when flowing in the movement core cover 3, then the hot air flows into the gap between the outer side wall of the movement core shell 32 and the inner side wall of the wheel hub shell 1 through the multiple air guide holes 331 and the air guide groove 321, and finally is discharged through the multiple air outlet holes 103, so that the effective heat dissipation of the motor assembly 4 in the inside of the movement core cover 3 is realized, the possibility of the performance attenuation or the component damage of the motor caused by the high temperature is reduced, so that the service life of the motor is prolonged.

[0055] The above are the preferred embodiments of the application, not the limitation of the protection scope of the application, so that: all the equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the application should be covered in the protection scope of the application.
